Chapter 5: The Clown, The Sanctuary, and The Sweet Candy.

Timothy walks to the orphanage or his home, that’s located on the south, past the plaza of Welsterven. Today, he didn’t get a single coin, but at least he is able to make one person happy with his performance.

“I think she is the most interesting person I’ve met so far, and to get accepted into the academy at young age, I bet she’s a genius, I can’t wait to tell Velvet about Silvie, it’s a shame that Velvet went into the Academy dorm to pack her things first, maybe she will be back tomorrow.”

Timothy smiled when he thought about his little family, there is Velvet who is one year younger than him, Marry a ten-year-old girl with twin tail hair, whose always want a piggyback from Timothy, Harry, a nine-year-old boy who got excited when Timothy gives him a bedtime story, and lastly, Jason, a seven year old boy, he is a shy and afraid of crowd, he always chat with Timothy about how he loves to eat a candy someday. That’s all of Timothy's little family at the orphanage, and of course the headmaster of the orphanage, the one who raised him with care and love, Timothy calls her Mother Roselyn.

The orphanage was a facility under the possession of the church, usually the sister of the church is the one who babysits all the children until they are 5 years old, after that, they will receive basic education and one room for them. It is all thanks to the donation of the people that this orphanage can operate.

I hope they all have already eaten something, I overheard Mother Roselyn that, currently the orphanage is in crisis of funds. Hmm, maybe I need to do more jobs, tomorrow I’ll search for a job at the plaza, maybe as a porter or store- Timothy’s train of thought stop when he noticed a group of 4 adults surround a little kid at the intersection alley, the place where he got beaten up by the mad middle-aged woman earlier. Isn’t that…Jason? oh my god it’s Jason!! I have a bad feeling about this.

Timothy immediately picks his pace and approaches the 4 adults and Jason.

“I’ll ask one more time you twerp, did you know anything about the box which has 4 candies in it?” The bald man with a scar on his face asked Jason, all the people around Jason looked really scary like some sort of bad people, Jason cowering in fear, he fidgety tucked his brown hat, to hide his face.

“I…d-didn’t…didn’t know... I swear…”

Jason ended up stuttering. The bald man and his friends became irritated, then the bald man grabbed Jason's shirt and lifted him up. Jason panicked as he tried to break free from the bald man’s tight grip.

“BASTARD… STOP LYING!!, IT’S CLEAR AS DAY, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO EAT IT, DID YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE THAT CANDY IS, HUH? YOU LITTLE SHIT!''

The bald man raises his right hand and swings it to punch Jason’s right cheek, but a sudden hand from behind touches the bald man's shoulder, it stops him from punching Jason’s face. It was none other than Timothy.

“I think we don't need to use violence against kids, we all are adults, aren’t we?.”

Timothy said in calm voice, his eyes meet the bald man eyes, who is glaring at Timothy, then he releases his grip of Jason’s shirt and kick his butt, Timothy instruct Jason to go back to the orphanage, he will take care of this problem, Jason nod his head and run away from the place.

“Oh, look guys, here comes his older brother, hey why don’t you give that little shit a valuable lesson of don’t steal what’s not belong to him, I bet your parents abandoned you two because you just useless shit to them, hahaha.”

The bald man and his friends were laughing at Timothy and harassed him further by saying, “He is so skinny, he looks like a freaking beggar, hahaha, beggar family, hahaha my stomach hurts hahaha.”

-*BAM*.

That joke made Timothy snap, he punched the bald man’s face, Timothy punch broke the bald man’s nose and it bled a lot, his 3 friends were too shocked, they stopped laughing for a second.

“YOU CROSS THE LINE!, YOU FUCK-FACE!!.” Timothy shouts at the bald man who is grabbing his bleeding nose, Timothy’s fierce gaze makes the bald man’s friend flinch, they take a step back from Timothy.

“Damn, he is not a pussy, so what now? You are trying to be a hero? So, you can brag about it to your little brother about your heroism? you want to beat us up huh? Why don’t you show us what you made off?.”

The bald man said that he stopped the bleeding with a little push on his nose. Suddenly Timothy got surrounded, he can’t escape now, he needs to fight the four of them simultaneously, fortunately he is not starving or else he can’t put up a fight. The space was narrow so both Timothy and the bald man's friends couldn't do much. Timothy observed his surroundings, and he got an idea how to get out of this dire situation.

“Get him!!” The bald man shouts, his friends lunge at Timothy, Timothy runs into one of the house walls, he leaped, then twisted his body, and he threw a kick at one of the bald man’s friends back head. “*Augh*, *ouff*.”

Timothy succeeded in knocking one person with his incredible acrobatic kick. Phew… one down, three more, now ho- unfortunately, sometimes reality can be really cruel to you, Timothy forgot about this.

“*Burgh*…shit.”

Timothy carelessly let down his guard, one of the punches from the bald man got connected and Timothy’s vision got blurry, his right temple bleeds, without waiting any counterattack from Timothy, the bald man’s friend fist greets Timothy left eye, then one more fist to his stomach, Timothy now kneel down all four on the ground, the bald man delivered a deadly kick to Timothy’s head.

“Now you look befitting as a beggar, you fucker!!, crawl down like that you shit, you think you’re great huh? where is that smug face you showed earlier, bitch!!” The bald man ruthlessly kicks Timothy’s head and even stomps on it multiple times, Timothy guards up his head with his hands, but the bald man's friends are all pinning him down and brutally punching his lower abdomen.

It hurts…. It hurts so much…please…stop... Timothy grit his teeth while taking more hits to his skinny body, the relentless attack makes Timothy on the brink of death.

Suddenly, all the attacks stopped, Timothy heard a voice, an old man's voice.

“Daring, are we? Hello, you all youngsters.”

An old man who wore a casual outfit, he didn’t even wear shoes, he wore a leather flip-flop on his feet, his left face was covered by a mask, he stands there menacingly, the bald man and his friends shift their focus to the old man.

“Go away old man! this is a private matter, if you butt in recklessly you will get the same consequences like this bastard”

The bald man warns the old man, but the old man just stood there, a smirk appeared on his wrinkled face, and suddenly. “Ha…ha…Hahahaha” The old man burst into laughter, then he stopped himself while waving his right hand.

“Does the consequence give me a beauty treatment like this?” The bald man got triggered by the old man’s taunt, he held his fist and he was about to lunge at the old man. On the other hand, the old man slowly lifted his mask which covered his left face, then, the bald man and his friends became terrified.

The old man left face is not a human face at all, it’s full of little tentacle and maggots that fell down one by one, not just that, the old man left eye socket is blank without anything in it, leaving only an empty space, when the bald man and his friends focused on the empty space, they see a reflection of themselves got decapitated with a shocked expression.

“AHHHH, MONSTER!!, YOU’RE A MONSTER!!” The bald man and his friends got scared shitless they even piss on themselves while running away.

Leaving behind the old man alone with Timothy who is laying down trembling, he also pisses on himself when he witnesses that, but he can’t run with an injured body, the old man wore his mask back, then he looks like an ordinary old man now after covering his left face with a half mask.

“Alas, they all run away, such beauty may end up scaring you indeed… so, how long do you plan on laying down like that?”

Timothy got up and sat down on one of the stair front doors, his leg couldn't stop shaking, his pants were wet, his head was bleeding, he got bruises everywhere on his body, it feels like breathing will break his body.

“I ran into a little kid earlier who is panting and panicking saying that his brother is in trouble, everyone ignores him, but, he grabs my shirt and begging me to help you *sigh, thanks to you, I’ll be late for dinner, come here you, brat.”

Jason shows up from the old man’s behind, he hides himself from the beginning and watches how the old man makes the bad guys run away with just standing like a menace. Jason gets closer to Timothy and hugs him.

“Brother!!! I’m sorry… because of me… *sniff*…*sniff*.”

“It’s…okay… I’m glad you are fine…hehe…*augh*.”

“Ah! Thank you, kind sir, you saved my brother from the bad guys.”

The old man just nods his head to Jason, then he looks at both of them.

“How did that happen? People like them, don't pounce on people unless you are filthy rich or filthy bitch.” Jason lowers his head, while Timothy spurts blood when he hears the old man’s words.

“I… eat… their candy…at first… I thought… it’s just junk, a leftover, because it’s in a small wooden box, when I opened it, it turned out it’s a sweet candy…and i…can’t resist it, I.. I… eat it.”

“Kid!!!, does this sweet candy you ate look exactly like this?”

The old man widens his eyes when he hears the word candy from Jason’s mouth, then he hurriedly shows Jason a picture sheet, a picture of rainbow tiny round rock candy.

“Ah, yes it looks like that!!”

Jason exclaimed with enthusiasm, while the old man clicked his tongue and ruffled his own hair. “Damnit kid, that’s drugs!, what you just consumed is drugs.”

Timothy got shocked when he heard that, he frantically grabbed Jason’s shoulders.

“Jason… *augh*. Hurry and spit it!!, oh no, I’m so stupid, Jason spit it!!.”

“It’s a little troublesome, but… I don’t have a choice.” Said the old man as he conjured a silver cane with four little hands which compiled into one, then he kneels and prays. “O goddess, your humble servant requests your blessing, please purify this poor little kid from negative effects.”

The four little hands wiggle and it began to move, Timothy and Jason got bewildered when they saw this. The four little hands then moved into Jason's stomach, but something horrible happened.

The four little hands became wild, they refused to get into Jason stomach and pounce into the old man neck instead, the old man throw up a lot of blood, coughing violently, then vomit a weird tiny animal, it looks like a caterpillar with a lot of tiny eyes, as it wiggles after being vomited from Herlan’s mouth, then that creature died.

“*Huff*…*huff*… what in the name of the holy spirit is this critter…they sure got a little more creative for straying further from the goddess path….”

Timothy and Jason, who saw it, closed their mouths. They wanted to vomit, but they didn't want to make the old man upset. Jason asked the old man with a trembling voice. “W-what is that creature? … Are you okay sir?”

“Oh? this?... it’s something called larvae, a parasite to make the host, the one who consumed it went bat shit crazy, … I’m sorry kid, for the next hour you will experience excruciating pain, and hallucinating, it will last for 24 hours. I try to remove the effects completely from your body, but…. goddamnit kid, you eat 4 of those candy drugs, the effect was much stronger than what it used to be… fortunately, i succeed to reduce the intensity of the side effect, and then as you can see I pulled out something… they send their greetings to me, what a lovely fellow they are, I’m touched, literally.”

Jason and Timothy swallowed their saliva when they heard the old man's explanation.

“T-thank you sir… ah my name is Jason and this is my brother Timothy.”

“My name is Herlan Rewead, it’s already past evening, hurry, I’ll help you and your brother back to your home.”

----------------------------------------

Herlan and the others then went into the orphanage, Timothy needed to be supported because of his injured body. The three of them arrived at the orphanage, a two-story white building, with a couple of people dressed up with church white uniform, for the man and the nun outfit, for the ladies. When Herlan and the other gazes meet with them, the people around immediately help them to enter the entrance door.

-*Creak*.

The orphanage door opened up, an old woman who wore a nun outfit greeted Herlan and the others. She was shocked when she saw Timothy, who is unconscious now.

“Oh goddess, what happened to you? my child, Timothy, quickly brought him to the medical room.”

Herlan and Jason quickly bring Timothy into the medical room, which is located not far from the entrance of the orphanage, then they lay Timothy 's body in one of the beds.

The sisters and the old woman earlier began to pray, they circled Timothy's body, a radiant light filled the room, as the old woman recited a prayer.

“O goddess, Seraphina, she who loves the living, she who cried on the dead, I beseech thee, to grant me blessing to heal your loved being.”

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

All the radiant light in the room converged into the old woman's hands, then she touched Timothy's forehead, and all of Timothy's injury got healed slowly.

“As expected of the Church’s high priest, it’s been a while, Mother Roselyn.”

“Huh? Oh my, if it’s not Sir Herlan Rewead, I’m sorry to trouble you for looking after the children.”

“It’s fine…more importantly kid, can you stop biting my finger…by the goddess.”

Jason’s eyes look unfocused and he keeps chewing Herlan’s finger as if it’s all candy, mother Roselyn got curious and asked about it.

“*Umm*… What happened to him? Sir Herlan.” Herlan looked at Mother Roselyn and the other nurses, they all were nervous. Some of the nurses give Jason a basket full of carrots, he let go Herlan fingers then chews the carrots like eating a candy.

“*Sigh*, I just got a report from the police headquarter in the royal area this afternoon, they said that a new variant of drug mysteriously appeared and went booming in common people, it looks like a rainbow tiny round rock candy, the police still investigating this matter, and request my help to aid with this case. The effect of the drug is worse, if they get addicted, they lose their mind completely and go feral like some beast.”

“Oh goddess, I hope no one consumes that cursed candy, so sir Herlan why did the police ask for your assistance?” Said Mother Roselyn, the other nurses’ murmurs to themselves saying how did such a thing happen.

“It’s exactly as you said, it was a cursed candy which means it’s related to… them, once you eat the candy you can’t remove the side effect, the parasite will be nested inside your body to give you hallucinations and pleasure, for the common people who didn’t know about this, they may end up getting addicted and then it gets worse and worse.”

“Them?... you mean…*gulp*.” Mother Roselyn and the others held their breath and swallowed their saliva, they can only think of one organization that can pull off this kind of thing.

“The Sanctuary… people who didn’t believe in any god and goddess, the police assumed the candy is originated from them, apparently, if you try to remove the side effect of the candy or crush the candy with anything, the person who did that will get a curse, many officers and doctors died in the process of analyzing the candy.” Mother Roselyn and the nurse gasp when they heard this, the situation was much worse than they expected.

“I see…may the goddess protect you sir Herlan, you’ve already done much for everyone, especially in that incident on Jerrim’s farm, how is Silvie condition, is she okay?”

Herlan glances at Timothy's unconscious body then looks back at Mother Roselyn. “It seems… She really likes watching Timothy perform as a street comedian as a coping mechanism, ever since I brought her with me to the Plaza 1 week ago, whenever she had free time she always goes to the Plaza water fountain to watch him.”

Mother Roselyn smiled when she heard that, then she looked at Jason who was now chewing carrots, his chest moving up and down, his eyes looking unfocused.

“Is that so…then, how should I deal with Jason? He consumed the cursed candy, right? Timothy told me he really wants to eat candy, unfortunately I, we can’t do that, candy is so expensive, I need to save money and spend it for the necessity of the orphanage.”

“Don’t worry I reduced the intensity of the cursed candy, so he will hallucinate and experience excruciating pain for 24 hours, so please keep an eye on him mother Roselyn…oh look who is awake now, somehow I always find myself either found unconscious people or awaking someone, fate seems strange sometimes.”

Timothy wakes up and then he sits at the edge of the bed, he looks at the people in the room, while scratching his head. “It Seems… I… made everyone worried… I’m sorry, because of me Jason ended up like that, I ought to be dependable older brother but i- “

Mother Roselyn sits beside Timothy and gently ruffles his hair.

“*Hush* Timothy you don’t need to blame yourself, maybe this is a test from the goddess, it’s okay, at least both of you are alive, that’s enough.” Hearing Mother Roselyn words, Timothy can’t help but lower his head and shed a tear, he clenches his fist to hold himself to not crying.

“Well… I guess I should go home, it’s already night.”

“Alright, please say to Silvie my greetings, may the goddess protect you, sir Herlan.”

Herlan waves his hand, when he reaches the doorknob, Timothy suddenly shouts his name. “Sir Herlan!!, thank you for everything, I’ll be sure to repay your kindness.”

Herlan stop and gaze at Timothy who is kneeling now, his heart felt a tinge pain when he sees Timothy does that with head wrapped in bandages and Jason who looks in pain, heavily breathing while the nurse held his body, he can’t help but leave the orphanage without saying anything, because it’s too painful to utter more words, they are all just innocence people, they shouldn’t get involved in this twisted conflict of curse, occults and blasphemy.

Sometimes there are things I wish for… things that I didn’t want to see in this world.

Herlan walks away from the orphanage, his lonely figure walking through the dark night gives an impression of someone who wanders around in the darkness for far too long and before they knew it, they can’t see a single ray of light, a light called hope.

----------------------------------------

Herlan arrived at his small home, small home indeed, according to his humble knowledge, while in truth it’s a majestic red brick mansion with beautiful garden on the front yard, training field on the back, there is someone waiting for him at the front door wearing church white uniform, he is Kevin, he bows down when he sees Herlan. “Sir Herlan, welcome back, young lady Silvie is waiting for you in the dining room.” Herlan stops for a second and looks at Kevin figure, he rubs his chin while carefully observing Kevin figure from head to toe.

“You…you’re…eh…you…”

“I’m Kevin sir.”

“Ah yes Kevin, good work.”

Herlan walked into his small home, while Kevin followed him from behind, like a butler. For the position of The Watcher, the church will appoint one person to assist everything for The Watcher, it’s called an apprentice program and Kevin is currently in an apprentice program to assist Herlan from his work and daily necessities.

Herlan and Kevin arrived at the dining room, there, a young lady with wolf white hair, and pink pajamas, waiting at the end of dining chair, the food are still warm and the young lady didn’t eat anything yet, she just sit there, she is Silvie, when Herlan and Kevin arrive, she made a sullen face expression and said.

“Sir Herlan, you're 1 hour late.”

Herlan ignored Silvie remarks, then he sits at the opposite chair of Silvie and told Kevin to join them, Kevin nod his head and sit at the nearest chair from his position, Silvie noticed Herlan ignoring her, then she makes a sharp glare at Herlan, Herlan sigh and explained why he come home late.

“Something urgent pops up, I can’t help it, you brat, it’s related to a curse item.”

Both Kevin and Silvie get surprised when they hear the word curse item, then Kevin asks Herlan about it.

“What kind of item is it sir?, I mean… ordinary item or something related to offering item?”

“Good question… it’s an ordinary item, it looks like a candy, a rainbow tiny round rock candy, the one you see at candy shop, the police inform me that a drug variant mysteriously appeared, and that said drug it’s rainbow tiny round rock candy, I’ve done inspecting the candy, to my surprise there is a tiny parasite in that candy, it will gives you a strong hallucinations effect, excruciating pain on your body, and finally when you get addicted, you become feral and…*keogh*…*cough* cough*…Kevin...fetch...*cough* water!!”

Herlan stops talking as he is now coughing violently, he taps his chest multiple times, he chokes on food while explaining things.

“Sir!!! hang in there!” Kevin hurriedly fetched a glass of water and handed it to Herlan, Silvie became dumbfounded when she saw all of this.

You shouldn’t talk when you eat, wasn't he the one who always told me that? that’s what Silvie thought while face-palming her face.

Herlan gulped the glass of water down and caught his breath like a person who almost got drowned. Kevin sighs with relief when he sees that Herlan is fine.

“*Haah*… I thought I would gain enlightenment from the goddess earlier there, remember Silvie, you shouldn’t talk when you eat, now… where was I again?”

Silvie ignored Herlan's words and ate her food slowly, while Kevin tried to remember the last conversation.

“I think, as you mentioned, when you get addicted, you become feral.”

“Ah yes, that’s why the police put a lot of attention to this case, and they need my aid for further investigation, they succeed in getting that candy, unfortunately, something seems to be interfering the process of analyzing how to cure the side effect, so a lot of officer and doctor died thanks to it.”

Kevin nodded his head, and he looked at Herlan for a second and said. “I see, so when you say something, some sort of curse mechanism is activated when the candy either gets crushed, or dissected… to come up with such a complicated curse mechanism…could it be…they are moving again?”

“Yes, they always do madness and spread their influence on common people…The Sanctuary, I’ve dealt with them quite a lot in the past, doing mass voodoo magic, turning people into strange monster, holding a ritual for false god, and the most unforgivable thing is that, they give my left face a beauty treatment, *sigh*… I locked myself up for a month because I can’t get close to the ladies, I became an eternal bachelor thanks to them!!”

After hearing Herlan’s words, Silvie and Kevin both looked at each other and scratched their heads. That was awkward, they shouldn’t have listened to that, especially the last part.

“Enough about it, so Silvie did you want anything from me or ask me something?”

Herlan switches the conversation topic and looks at Silvie, who is now fidgeting with her fingers.

“*Umm*… sir, can I have a camera?”

Herlan tilt his head when he heard Silvie’s request, usually, a young lady at her age will ask more clothes, jewels, and lot of money, but to think her first request is an item, a camera at top of that, Herlan finally realized that Silvie didn’t request anything before, her daily activities is just training, go to the Plaza, training, and study. She really is a peculiar person, that’s what Herlan thought, but Herlan can’t help it, she was a slave before, so these kinds of things must be strange to her.

“I get it, Kevin, buy a camera tomorrow morning, oh and also escort her to Stella Ethereal Academy, I have a business tomorrow morning at the church, now I need to sleep, you too brat tomorrow is your entrance ceremony After All.”

“Understood sir." Kevin nodded his head.

Silvie on the other hand, asks Herlan while lowering her head and touches her pointer fingers together. “So, you’re not coming to my entrance ceremony sir? I will be giving a speech as the representative of new students, I just hope you will see me.” Herlan shakes his head and looks at Silvie, sighing.

“*Sigh*, okay, okay I guess I will see it.”

“Yeay! Thank you, sir,” Silvie smiled and jumped from her seat, after hearing that. Then the dinner ended with Kevin cleaning all the dishes and the table, both Herlan and Silvie went to their own room on the second floor to sleep.

----------------------------------------

It is midnight now, all the street lights are dimly lit, four adults are creeping up from far away, they look at the white two-story building, they are wearing black robes and black masks to blend in the darkness. “Doctor said, this is the home of that little fucker who ate our sweet candy.”

One of them takes off their mask to breathe in the fresh air and to look at the building more clearly, he is a bald man with a scar on his face. He was the one who harassed and attacked Timothy and Jason this evening, he and his friends are planning something now.

“We need to show them that they messed with something they shouldn’t!!, especially that old man, Doctor said that, once you eat the candy, he is able to know your locations, that little fucker ate 4 of that candy.”

The bald man’s friend nods their head, they were supposedly need to deliver the 4 candies to a client in one of the alleys, a middle-aged woman, that’s all they know about the client, without much knowledge on the area, they decided to leave the wooden box with inverted cross symbol, the symbol of The Sanctuary, hoping that the client understood the message, it’s their goods. But a random kid ended up eating all of it, now they need to kill that kid and bring his head to their boss, the Doctor, to recover their loss.

“It’s an orphanage…hahaha this will be easy, they don’t have a single patrol. I could’ve killed both of them that evening, but that old man interfered, i think he is the same level as Doctor, fortunately, Doctor didn’t get mad and tolerate our mistake, and said if we can bring the head of that little kid, we will be promoted as the official member of The Sanctuary, finally we will get a stable job and kiss goodbye our poor and pathetic life, isn’t that right, guys?”

“Yeah!! We will be rich men.”

“We will be rich tonight, hahaha.”

The bald man and his friends were smiling, they always together since they were a kid, they didn’t have a name because they were from the slums, the dirtiest, sickest and poorest area of Welsterven area on the east of inner-city area the Plaza, their whole life is dedicated to survive and to eat like some kind of jungle law, until one winter night, they all were starving, bleeding, and freezing. That's when they meet their boss, the Doctor, the one who gives them shelter, food and jobs. Although it’s just a delivery job, at least they are able to eat and survive.

“Alright, listen, this is the plan, first we will search for that little kid, he must be sleeping in his room or in the medical room, because his big brother got badly injured, we will move swiftly and beheaded him, after that we will burn this place as a distraction, then we will escape to the slum, the area where the police can’t do the surveillance, and we give boss the head, finally our mission success.”

“Damn, you’re smart, respect plus-plus for you, dude.” All the bald man’s friends were impressed with that plan. After joking and laughing, they finally turned serious, the bald man put back his black mask, they began moving swiftly, since it’s midnight there is only the patrol cop on the street, the bald man went into the patrol cop’s back and knock him out with one move, now the bald man and his friends had no obstacle to get inside the orphanage.

One of the bald man's friends succeeded in pick-locking the window to the medical room. They entered the medical room with caution, a medium size room with lots of beds, medicines and syringes. And finally, they spotted it, their target, the little kid who ate the candy earlier. It’s Jason, he is sitting on his edge bed eating the steel pole, his mouth is foaming, and his eyes look bloody red.

Hehe Lucky~ now I just need to behead him in that position, this is your fault kid, you shouldn’t touch that wooden box in the first place, may you rest in peace, bitch. The bald man unsheathes his short sword from its scabbard, he positions himself and instructs his friend to keep pouring the gasoline all over the room.

-*Slash*.

The bald man beheaded Jason, his head rolled on the ground, the bald man clicked his tongue; he failed to catch it because the blood spurt to his face, then, suddenly the door of the medical room opened up.

-*Creak*.

It was Timothy who entered the room carrying a towel, and a bag of medicine, both him and the bald man who is in black robe and black mask, look at each other, then Timothy saw a horrifying scene, a head rolled down to his feet, it was Jason’s head, with his eyes bulging red and mouth foaming white and blood keeps pouring making a trail on floor.

“AAAAHH!!…JASON!!!...YOU…I’LL KILL YOU ALL.”

Timothy's loud scream startled the bald man and his friends, the bald man without much option, he needed to leave and execute his next plan.

“Now!!”

The bald man and his friends, one by one leap through the window behind them, until there is him and Timothy. Unfortunately, his black mask got stuck between the window handle, revealing his appearance to Timothy, a bald man with a scar on his face. Timothy widens his eyes when he sees it, he can’t believe what he saw with his own eyes.

“IT’S YOU…BASTARD… I’LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU, COME HERE."

Timothy run as fast as he could, but he was too late, the bald man leaps through the window and throw something at Timothy, it was a blazing molotov cocktail, a wide grin appears on his face then he laughs at Timothy pitiful face who seems to realize by the gasoline smell that they are planning to burn down the whole building.

“HAHAHA, WHY DON’T YOU BE A HERO NOW, LIKE WHAT YOU DID THAT EVENING, SO LONG SUCKER!!” The bald man escaped, while Timothy saw all his life slowly flash by when a molotov bottle slowly dropped to hit the floor.

He can’t do anything, this whole building will be engulfed in flames in a second, and the medical room has flammable insulation. The fire will blast through this room and everyone will get burned to death, kick the molotov bottle? It’s too late, catch it with your hands? it’s too late, every option leading to the inevitable death.

Timothy caught a glimpse of the flickering flames, his heart however was full of rage, he really wanted to kill that bastard, even if he went to hell, he would crawl back just to drag that bastard soul with him.

I’LL KILL YOU!!, EVERY LAST OF YOU!!, I SWEAR I WILL NOT GIVE YOU A PAINLESS DEATH!!, I’LL FUCKING TORTURE YOUR SOUL!! UNTIL WE BOTH WENT TO THE DEEPEST HELL!!.

-*Clank*…

-*Fwossh*.

The molotov crash on the floor, the flames quickly became bigger and swallowed the whole building, that midnight the white two-story building orphanage brighten the whole Welsterven, the screams, the cry of the staff and the children, the agony, the pain, it was a tragedy that taint both the kingdom’s name and the church’s name, shattering the little sanctuary of a certain man.
